Randomly ran into German NT team bus today.... "die Mannschaft" :lol: What a pathetic attempt to replicate a cool team nickname like Selecao or Azzurri @DAiDEViL die mannschaft :sergio:
pathetic indeed.
can‘t just come up with a random (bullshit) nickname and expect the fans to accept it.

i like Red‘s "La Nazionale" btw :tup:

It's this line of thinking that's going to make you very disappointed come February 1
We are not going to sign anyone serious in this winter window...
We are going to get someone in the summer I just hope we get some great players in the summer without letting go of someone great of our own...

Fabregas is worldclass. Yes, he was not a key member cause Xavi is better. Wich isnt saying much, since Xavi is spains greatest midfielder in history. Actually, in Barcelona's playstyle, what midfielder during Xavi's prime was superior to him ? I cant think of anyone.

Your dortmund argument is bad. Forwards always gather interest quickly. It doesnt mean they are more important. Gundogan is their best midfielder, and arguably tied with aubameyang for best player at this point. Reus is below that.
Talking about interest. Yeah, aubameyang is hot. Klopp is wanting gundogan at liverpool. Van gaal wants him at manchester. Reus ? nothing much. Interest will increase as the season progresses, because players who excell but dont score or assist, draw attention much slower.

I said, Isco is "top 3 primadonna am". You can look for my post to find it. He plays in the team with the biggest competition for his position. He is not a starter, but he plays alot of games, on several positions. he's not happy, because he wants to be the starter, the key player. He wont get that at madrid.
However. Alot want him to stay at madrid. Chelsea and manchester city want him.



Liverpool, Man Utd, Man City and Chelsea want two of those players. The other one has impossible wages and will find a team that pays them long before he considers to cut his wages to come here.
Sure, we can afford any of them if we wouldnt have competition. But as you can see, we quite have.
Again:
Fabregas when you are WC no one can take your spot. Especially in midfield. If anything does kill your argument in one word its: Rakitic.

Gundogan is the best? OMG!!! Reus is behind? Are you insane or are their agents insanely stupid? We'd have to figure this one out...

Isco this one I cannot fathom your position on anymore... Is he top3, is he a primadonna? Anyway, as I was saying we CAN and we SHOULD buy him, but then again blabber away how at best EL-bound teams could and will afford him.

World class isnt the same as "best in the world".


Xavi was significantly past his prime and decaying when Rakitic took over. Rakitic is lightyears away from how good Xavi was during his prime.

Gundogan is better then reus this season, and more important. Reus can improve a great deal tho. Offcourse, you only rate players by goals and assists, and not their impact.

Isco is a top 3 primadonna am. We cant sign him because there is too much competition. if he leaves madrid in the first place.



We can discuss how good we think these 3 players are. But its clear we cant beat competition for any

what if you have 2 WC players for 1 position?

yes. if you dont believe it - go watch some dortmund.

we can't and shouldn't compete with oil clubs.

BS, again.

If you had x player and y player was light years away from...

SIMPLE:
WC player gets first team playing time. He might be after Xavi, sure the guy is a legend... But he is a legend in Qatar now! Not to mention the whole Rakitic debacle which both of you brush under the carpet. Oh yeah, Fabregas wanted to be the laughing stock of DailyMail and the point guy on the topic of "Who betrayed Mourinho" rather than win some silverware with his beloved hometown club... :andyandbarcelona:

About me watching Dortmund or not... I guess that is not the issue. The issue is their salaries and it is a very important one. Now why wouldn't anyone pay to Gundogan what Dortmund has been giving to Reus? Shit, they must be stupid!

On competing with oil clubs... again THAT IS NOT THE ISSUE. Compete on WHAT is the issue! Should we just give up the CL while we are at it too? Or try motivational speech 101 on a bunch of nobodies? Don't make me laugh, please!

PS: Shit, we just lost Isco. Papa Benitez got fired... noooo :(

So if Neuer, Ter Steegen, Buffon and Courtois play at the same team, only the starter is worldclass ?

So Hazard and Bale arent worldclass, because they wont play LW if they are in the same team as CR7 ?


some logic this
